This year to celebrate RSE Day 2020 the staff have
compiled a collection of books that
they have loved reading on the theme of love.

We hope you enjoy it! Mrs Fisher (RSE Co- Ordinator)

Read our school RSE Programme

As you may be aware, from September 2020 the Department for Education expects all schools to implement new statutory Relationships, Sex Education and Health Education curriculum (RSE) as part of their Personal Social Health Education program.

The new curriculum focuses on healthy relationships and keeping children safe in the modern world. It also covers a wide range of topics relating to physical and mental health, well-being, safeguarding and healthy relationships. Learning about the emotional, social and physical aspects of growing up, it will give young people the information, skills and positive values to have safe, fulfilling relationships and will help them take responsibility for their own well-being. Although we have always had a robust Personal Social Health Education program, this new guidance will make it even more comprehensive.

The resources we will use to deliver RSE in Religious Studies lessons will be provided by Ten:Ten, a Catholic education organisation. The Catholic Education Service and Birmingham Diocese have endorsed and promoted the use of Ten:Ten resources in all secondary schools.

As a Catholic school, we provide the principal means by which the Church assists parents and carers in educating their children. As a school community, we are committed to working in partnership with parents and carers thus we are sharing some of the resources on the Ten:Ten Parent Portal for you to view as we believe it is important that you stay informed of your child’s education.

If you have any questions or comments you would like to share with us on this programme please contact Mrs Fisher (Character Education and RSE Co- ordinator) on rse@st-benedicts.org.
